Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
DGA Statement on Alaska Governor’s Race
Tonight, Democratic Governors Association Executive Director Elisabeth Pearson released the following statement on Bill Walker dropping out of the governor’s race in Alaska:
“This is a game changer in the Alaska Governor’s race. This race immediately becomes a tossup, open-seat race between a popular Democrat in Mark Begich and a fringe Republican in Mike Dunleavy.
“Mark Begich has a record of putting Alaska priorities first and working across party lines to deliver for the state. Mike Dunleavy has a reckless record of pushing an extreme social agenda while making history as the least effective legislator in a generation. Dunleavy is the only majority-party senator in the past 30 years who wasn’t the primary sponsor on a bill that became law. Mark Begich is in a strong position to win in Alaska this November.”
